The Bay of Fundy is home to thousands of whales and stopping to view of these massive residents is a vital part of the journey and sure to enthral. Enjoy the scenery on the way to Moncton for some seriously beautiful surroundings (excellent hiking conditions) before venturing further north to the town of Bathurst, taking in the views of the bay as the route curves round the St. Lawrence seaboard.

Stopping off at the towns of Seligman for conversation with Route 66 devotees before venturing onwards to the caves for further immersion into the Arizona dream.

Giant's Causeway Drive, Antrim, Northern Ireland
A journey along the rugged Atlantic Coast to the Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO designated area of outstanding natural beauty is a trip back to mystical Ireland. Stop over at Dunluce castle, perched precariously on the edge of a rocky outcrop. The drive along the Antrim coast provides stunning views of the Irish countryside with dry stonewalls making the fields seem like a patchwork quilt.

The Amalfi Drive, Italy.
This adventurous drive from Sorrento city to the village of Amalfi intersects some of the most beautiful scenery in Italy. This drive is not for the faint hearted; the sheer drop to the base of the rugged cliffs is unprotected but for a few sections of railings along the 50 km drive. The views are spectacular with brilliant displays of flowers mixing with the stark rocky cliffs. Some drivers chose to drive the northbound route to Amalfi along the inside lane, away from the cliff edge which gives less a feeling of precariousness.

Stellenbosch to Paarl, Wine Route, South Africa.
This particular winegrowing region of South Africa is nestled at the base of huge mountains that shelter the bountiful vines of this exceptional region. The route will take you through the quaint town of Stellenbosch, still boasting old world Dutch architecture, to an area settled over 300 years ago by French Huguenots. They discovered the valley was perfect wine growing and the Franschhoek region was born. The Paarl area is home to the KWV Wine Emporium, in existence since 1918. The KWV has the world's largest wine cellar with the Cathedral Cellar a magnificent sight filled to the ceiling with casks of the local produce.
